Traveling should be an adventure, but if something happens that could threaten your safety, such as extreme weather or security issues when traveling abroad, I know that I would want to have as much reliable information as possible so I can make the best choices to stay safe while trying to get home if that's necessary.

While most international travelers are familiar with programs like TSA Precheck and TSA Global Entry, there's a third U.S. government program that helps Americans traveling out of the country called the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). If you're abroad and the unthinkable happens — injury, illness, a lost passport, or even a global emergency, signing up for the free STEP program could literally save your life. I've signed up for the program, so keep reading to find out why you should take advantage of it, too.

The new policy applies to travelers from 54 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and much of the European Union. The change is effective immediately, making short-term visits for tourism, business, or cultural exchange more accessible.
